At (? I don't remember now. I thought it was Trampled By Turtles, but that doesn't make any sense. Some very early act at the outdoor stage) last year, I was talking for a while with a middle-aged guy who had brought his (thirteenish?) son for several years. They both seemed to be having a blast, and it appeared to be quite fine family bonding time.

Re: Older people taking their teenagers to Coachella

lol!! I'm 50 too. You and your kids will be fine. It can be exhausting because there is so much to do. BTW My teens grew up at Coachella. This is there 3rd Coachella. They have VIP passes too. They're practically adults now.

It really is. We've been doing OSL, ACL, and Coachella with our 19 year old for the past 5 years and Wonder Con/Comic Con with our 16 year old. It's nice that they still want to be around us.
